Enjoy a fun, interactive Historic Walking Tour designed especially for families with children in 1st–5th grade.
Young “junior historians” will explore the charming Town of Mooresville through engaging stories, hands-on activities, and kid-friendly discoveries.
The tour begins at the circa 1821 Stagecoach Inn & Tavern with a make-and-take Native American craft and includes visits to the circa 1839 Brick Church and an original 19th-century outhouse. Along the way, children will uncover fascinating secrets about Mooresville’s historic buildings, people, and even its connections to the movies.
This approximate 1-hour walking tour around Historic Mooresville is fun-filled, intriguing, and educative.
Kids will learn the secrets and stories behind many historic buildings and homes, such as:
- How did a brave white dog and a mysterious pole help lead the Chickasaws to this very spot?
- Why is there a giant hand pointing up to the sky — and what is it trying to tell us?
- Did Disney really turn Historic Mooresville into a movie set?
- If you ate dinner at the Stagecoach Inn & Tavern in 1820, how many coins would it cost you?
- Did Lady Woodroof cleverly protect her home and treasures from Union soldiers?
- Which house was designed by Alabama’s very first woman architect — and why was that such a big deal?
And many more surprising stories to discover…
